Shamballa Vegetarian Tea House

Venue was beautiful and staff were lovely. However, food was on the average but on the expensive side. Definitely a place to go if you want to dress up and have a scenic dinner but I would recommend going somewhere else for more authentic vegan Vietnamese cuisine.

We loved the spiritual chic ambience of this place and the menu had us really excited for what was to come. Perhaps we didn't order as well as we could have, but the food wasn't up to expectations. Taste profiles weren't special at all, and we came away feeling heavy and tired. A shame because it had so much potential. Updated from previous review on 2023-08-28

It was very quiet when i visited this restaurant. Decor and environment were calming. Food was okay. I loved this dish which I tried 2 days in a row to memorise the flavour ‘ crispy abalone mushroom’. I will visit the place again whenever I visit Vietnam

After we loved their branch in Hoi An we definitely wanted to come here to eat more of their delicious dishes. In Hoi An the staff were so welcoming and kind, while the food was just amazing. In this branch we had a slightly different experience. This time we wanted to try their hotpot which you can order in size small or big. I asked the waitress for the difference and if the small one is enough for 2 people but we had some communication issues because of the language barrier so I couldn't get an answer. On the menu it says the small one is recommended for 2 people so we decided to go for this one. The ingredients for the hotpot were definitely enough but unfortunately, you only get a tiny pot to put them in. That means that the broth wasn't enough. We had to ask for a refill 2 times but they said we can only get one. Eventually we didn't have enough broth and had to eat some of the ingredients dry. Also they don't provide a stove, more a huge candle which extinguished after a while what means the broth wasn't hot enough to boil your ingredients towards the end. The broth was really delicious and the mushrooms and vegetables were so fresh and tasty. It was a big selection of mushrooms that we loved. Also, we had the fresh spring rolls, which were a great appetizer. If they would work on their friendliness, communication and being miserly this could be an amazing restaurant.

Nice looking restaurant relaxing setting , I had Accidentally booked in at their sister restaurant but they helped alter the booking and fitted me in. Amazing food with mainly a Vegan menu I ordered: Lemon grass chilli chips (Must try) Avocado rolls Seaweed Pineapple fried rice Orange TOFU All was amazing!!!!! More of a up market restaurant, so the prices reflected this and was happy to pay the
